To ask the Minister for Health if he has a policy in place when local authorities are providing new playground facilities, that they would provide playground equipment, which is, at least in part, accessible for children with disabilities, including children in wheelchairs; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The Department of Health has no responsibility for playground facilities. Under the National Disability Strategy, responsibility for the accessibility of facilities to children and adults with disabilities lies with the Government Department or public body with general responsibility for the provision of the facilities in question to all citizens.
